England Golf suggest that golfers should submit qualifying cards so that their handicap index is an accurate reflection of their current play. 'General Play Rounds' are equivalent to the old 'Supplementary Cards' and they can be entered electronically using the HowDidiDo or MyEG (the England Golf app).

A player submitting a General Play Round Card will need to play alongside their marker who should have a good awareness of the rules of golf, the marker should witness and record the scores for the complete round (they do not need to submit a card themselves). The player will need to sign into HowDidiDo or MyEG prior to play. It is not essential that the card marker has their own handicap.

This is the HowDidiDo web link.

To sign in the player clicks - Today's Golf and then clicks - Sign in

The player should choose 'Qualifying' round.
The player can choose to play the yellow, red or white course and whether playing a '9' or '18-holes' .The intention to play has now been set and the round can be played.
The player should play off the appropriate red/white or yellow moveable tees.

NOTE: during the Winter months when Temporary Mats are in use, members can select either Yellow or Red courses. The White course option is not available as it doesn't satisfy the distance rules for Qualifying Card submission.

Once the round has been completed the player and marker verbally agree the gross scores. There is no need to email the card or post it in the box in the clubhouse. Having agreed the scores the player returns to HowDidiDo to submit their score electronically (via the link above or using the App).

Click- Today's Golf
Select- Score Entry

The player will be asked for the surname of their marker, as the player begins to type options of club members will come up. Once the marker has been confirmed the player inputs their gross score hole by hole. Finally there is a box to sign to confirm the score.

Please remember that all scores should be entered & submitted on the day of play, otherwise rounds registered without scores being submitted will incur an automatic 0.1 shot penalty as directed by EnglandGolf.

Please also note that both HowDidIDo and MyEG systems require the player to be in close proximity (<2 miles) to the course for the Sign-In and Score Entry processes to work, so location Services will need to be enabled for these Apps on your device whilst using them. Also, a time lag will be in operation from the point where intent to play a round is registered to the stage when a score can be accepted

The following screenshots illustrate the Sign-In and Score entry procedure using the HowDidiDo App.

The My England Golf (MyEG) App can also be used to input scores at ECGC, and can also be used to input scores at away clubs using your mobile phone.

NOTE: For the MyEG scoring process to work both player and marker need to have a registered & functional MyEG App.
